Back on my bike today after yesterday's concession to drive. I fixed my flat last night. Gave me a good look at how much my whole drivetrain has deteriorated from winter riding. My cassette has maybe 1500 miles on it (if that) and all of the teeth are just sharp little points. Chain ring looks the same on the smaller two rings (I rarely use the big ring for winter riding.) Both derailleurs are quite rusty. Wow. Probably going to have to sink some money into the bike after this season.

Ride was uneventful. 18 degrees, but a very light wind. All the streets and MUP were plowed out after the Tues/Wed blizzard. In fact I passed two trucks making their 2nd pass clearing the MUP and gave them an enthusiastic thank you wave.
